At this year's Cannes Lions festival, two directors shared the Grand Prix – the most prestigious award in advertising – so we're taking a look at some of their best work. As well as the Volvo film featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme that netted Andreas Nilsson the big prize last week, we have adverts for Valmano and Telenor. For James Rouse, we've included work for Marmite and VW, as well as the Harvey Nichols commercial that won at Cannes <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/video/2014/jun/26/ad-break-volvo-harvey-nichols-valmano-marmite-telenor-vw-video">Continue reading...</a>AdvertisingCannes LionsCannes Lions 2014Media businessDigital mediaThu, 26 Jun 2014 10:55:51 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/media/video/2014/jun/26/ad-break-volvo-harvey-nichols-valmano-marmite-telenor-vw-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukAd Break

Each of these commercials that won awards at the <a href="http://www.canneslions.com/">Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity</a> prompted a certain amount of controversy. The ads for Tango and the Xbox were banned while the VW ad that has a little girl repeatedly swearing were considered too risqué for TV. Possibly the most controversial of the lot is the Belgian commercial that opens the compilation – if you've never seen it, you may be surprised when you find out what it advertises. <strong>Warning: this video contains scenes that some viewers may find offensive</strong> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/video/2013/jun/20/five-controversial-tv-internet-ads-video">Continue reading...</a>AdvertisingCannes Lions 2013Cannes LionsMediaUK newsUS newsThu, 20 Jun 2013 12:27:15 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/media/video/2013/jun/20/five-controversial-tv-internet-ads-videoZazoo/ZazooKid screaming in Zazoo ad Photograph: ZazooGuardian Staff2013-06-20T12:27:15ZFive great British TV adshttp://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/jun/17/five-great-british-tv-ads
